Abstract
A semiconductor storage device includes a plurality of gate electrodes, a semiconductor layer facing the plurality of gate electrodes, a gate insulating layer arranged between each of the plurality of gate electrodes and the semiconductor layer. The gate insulating layer contains oxygen (O) and hafnium (Hf) and has an orthorhombic crystal structure. A plurality of first wirings is connected to the respective gate electrodes. A controller is configured to execute a write sequence and an erasing sequence by applying certain voltages to at least one of the first wirings. The controller is further configured to increase either a program voltage to be applied to the first wirings in the write sequence or an application time of the program voltage in the write sequence after a total number of executions of the write sequence or the erasing sequence has reached a particular number.
